The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved allowing women's volleyball players to contact the ball more than once with any part of the body in a single attempt on a team's second contact when the ball is played to a teammate. Confused? I was, so I asked a former student's mom to explain. When you contact the ball with your finger tips using both hands, both hands need to come in contact at the same time. If one hand (fingers) touches the ball first, before the other one, even for a split second, the ball spins in a way it wouldn't if it were a single contact. Like in basketball, once you pick up your dribble, you cannot dribble again and must pass the ball to a teammate. That rule was overturned, but it did not apply to a double contact on a block.
